Looks as if Steve Balmer might have designed it

No true reflection on Balmer who might in fact be very imaginative, but the popular rap on him is that he is not the guy to revitalize Microsoft as his ideas are just so yesterday. And that's what Apple's new headquarters looks like. Some idea of "THE FUTURE" from the 1950s when Jobs was born.

Here is Jobs' conventional, boring, 1950s idea of how to redevelop a blighted neighborhood — having nothing to do it!

No "courtesy" to Apple, actually. It makes Apple look foolish.

And specifically, SF Gate has it all wrong:

To be clear, it looks like a wonderful project. It promises to convert an industrial section of town adorned principally with asphalt into one of the nation's great corporate headquarters, a 3.1 million-square-foot circular structure surrounded by acres of native landscaping and housing its own green-energy center.
